    Once Upon a Night

    A night alone but not a lonely night
    For I have my sky to speak to
    He likes to talk to me faintly
    And sometimes loudly
    I can feel him without really touching him
    His vibrations move through me
    But he is not scary
    Even though his loud voice reaches far
    His voice is a beautiful sound to my ears
    He can move the earth with a whisper
    He can make the grass dance to his tunes
    And make the trees share a waltz
    My sky is a warrior tonight
    Strong yet graceful
    "Don't take ME for granted," he tells me with a C R A C K of his smile
    He keeps me occupied and in 'awe' with his tales
    Until we both get tired and start drifting
    Now only whispers I hear
    He is getting tired I know
    His voice weakens to softness
    But he is loyal
    And he sings me a song
    Until my eyes close
    Then he yawns once more
    And follows me into the dark heavens

    Step out of the way people, this is what you call a poet that is in tune with the universe, So get a grip, take a lesson from Firefly , 10 plus,,,,,,*

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
